When it comes to finding the perfect lipstick you could honestly spend your entire life looking, with new formulas and colours coming out all the time it is near impossible so whilst going on our hunt that will honestly never end we find products that fill that position of 'the best lipstick' for a certain time before we inevitably find a new product to take its place. For us at the moment the Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks are just that. We are suckers for good packaging, after all it's the first thing you see and we are very guilty of choosing a product just because it looks pretty! Out of all of the lipsticks we have (all drugstore) the packaging of this lipstick is by far our favourite, we love the simple square black design and the indented criss-cross pattern makes it look classy and more expensive which in our eyes is never a bad thing, the tops of the tube have a plastic panel showing the colour of the lipstick which makes finding a colour in the morning when running out of the door to go to school so much easier! Butenough about the packaging, on to the actual product.
In our collection these are the colours that we have and to be quite honest we love them all! From left to right they are: 021 - Cherry Ice, 028 - Rose Nectar and 001- Lilac. One thing we both love about these lip products is the amazing pigmentation, the colours look beautiful on everyone who has tried them (our friends were our guinea pigs for this test!) but we also love how you can wear them everyday. You may think it's a bit scary to wear a red or purple lipstick everyday and trust us when we say we thought the same thing which is why we love this product, on days when we just want a bit of colour but not have a bright lip we gently dab a little bit on our bottom lip and rub our lips together and it gives a perfect amount of colour for a natural everyday look. The lipsticks have a soft creamy texture and glide easily over your lips, we wouldn't say they are moisturizing but they don't dry out your lips at all. Some shades have a hint of glitter in them making them brighter and perfect for parties or summer, who doesn't want a but of sparkle? The lasting power is surprisingly good considering they are drugstore, the colour will last us around 4 hours before we have to top it up, that is if we don't eat anything in that time, we usually re-apply after eating but that's something that you need to do with most products. These retail for around $25 in New Zealand which is around $19 US dollars and although that sounds way too expensive in NZ it is just slightly over the normal price for lipstick but there are always ways to get it cheaper (online shopping addicts here!)and they are definitely worth the few extra dollars.
Overall we love these lipsticks and they are definitely a must have when it comes to lip products, they suit us perfectly and do everything we need them too without all the annoying problems that can sometimes come with wearing lipstick.
